News from Armenia

Even though this letter is 2 hours later than usual, I think this is my favorite email yet because now we know for sure that all is well in Armenia. Yervan is 120 miles from the 7.2 earthquake that hit yesterday.

Hey Mom!

About the earthquake, yes I'm alright :) I didn't feel
it, but everyone on the top floors of our building did because they all
ran out at the same time we were, trying to get up all yelling
"Earthquake!" and just going nuts in general. It was actually quite
funny. We didn't get the main earthquake, but we got an aftershock in Yerevan.
It wasn't too bad, but they closed the road to Malatsia, or so I was
told by Elder Lush. We're hoping this will open up Turkey more to
missionary work, just like the earthquake in Gyumri did for Armenia.

Anyways :) Good to hear everything is alright over in Santa Monica.
I really do miss the weather there. It is so freaking cold here that
it's ridiculous. They sent me here just in time for winter. Not even
fair.

But yeah, I'm not complaining. I'm still healthy and all for the
most part. You'd be proud of me, though. I make meals, do dishes, clean
toilets and bathtubs :D And I do laundry, though it's a pain in the rear
to do here.

Anyways, love you Mom! And stay healthy. I love you so much. We just
got the Liahona about the Book of Mormon and there was a section on the
mothers of the 2,000. I thought of you :)
